* Students must have attended Note Taking 101 before enrolling in this class. This class allows students the opportunity to apply the skills and strategies they learned in Note Taking 101. We will begin by discussing our approach to taking notes and its impact on our overall study system. This is followed by a review of preparing to take notes, customizing them in ways that work specifically for us, and implementing effective, time-maximizing strategies. Throughout this discussion, I will offer examples and assign exercises to reinforce the student's understanding. Finally, we will conclude our conversation with a summary of this crucial skill set and address any concerns a student may have. This class will include exercises, so students should be prepared to write and display their work (or it can be sent to me privately if preferred). Questions and comments are encouraged throughout class to allow for an interactive discussion and comprehension. As this is an inclusive space, all students are welcome. If your student has special abilities or requires accommodations, please let me know. I also offer private tutoring if individual instruction is desired.
Learning Goals
Students will become better equipped to take notes by implementing new strategies and customizing them in ways that work specifically for them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from University of South Carolina
I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults within the educational and mental health systems. While in graduate school, I was a part-time college instructor which ignited my passion for teaching. I then became a mental health therapist, working in residential facilities as well as in the community. For the past six years, I have taught students online, which has been rewarding and challenging in ways that continue to inspire me.
Along with being a teacher, I am also a writer. I have had two short stories published, and I continue to regularly submit material. For three years, I had a blog that included my short stories, reviews, and opinions on various issues. Other examples of my writing experience consist of curriculums for an independent living program, program descriptions, numerous website articles, as well as online advertisements. I enjoy sharing my passion for writing with students and hearing about what inspires them. I strive to provide a supportive atmosphere for my students, allowing them to harness and express their creativity in ways unique to them.
Throughout my educational and professional careers, I have implemented various tools in my own life to create and maintain a system of learning, organization, and balance. After successes and failures alike, I now believe the knowledge of "how to learn" is a skill that serves us well after we graduate from school. I enjoy sharing these valuable skills with students who may discover a new way to be productive, feel confident as they plan for their future, and apply them to different parts of their lives for the rest of their lives.
